Friendship Profiled

She types her emotions
through letters on a screen
that lack sympathy and passion. 
Fingering a keyboard is easy,
passive, direct exchange avoided. 
You may be defriended
in that minute of failure.
 
You hang on every misinterpreted word.

The feed dances--spins like a Ferris wheel.
The height of your intimacy stops
as you linger on the phantom glow
of friendship created by a cursor.

the rest of the poem was only perfect as well...

words that belonged in a tribe together since sight began.

Another one well done...

you better start writing more... i only have one more of your's to experience... so i'll have to save it... just knowing there is still something left for me that i can anticipate...

Antonio :)
